ENVTRIM DOS Environment Variable Truncation Version 1, December, 1990 Written by Douglas Bigelow and David Todd Wesleyan University Middletown, CT hdtodd@mockingbird.wesleyan.edu ENVTRIM trims from the left or right to a specified count of characters the value associated with environment variable and re-stores that variable and value to the environment area. One or more environment variables can be truncated in a single invocation of ENVTRIM. The environment variables in the PARENT process are modified. This capability is useful, for example, for truncating full Novell Netware username strings to 3-character strings used by network-aware programs such as WordPerfect.
